The Bangladesh Army has been accused of raiding a home
and assaulting two residents in the Khada Para area of Ward No. 6 under
Belchhori Union in Matiranga Upazila, Khagrachhari. The incident allegedly took
place at around 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
The primary victim, Mohi Ranjan Tripura, 37, son of
Robi Kumar Tripura, is a resident of Khada Para.
According to local sources, between 25 and 30 soldiers
from Bangmara Army Camp entered Khada Para during the early hours of the
morning, reportedly approaching through the Sapmara and Machho Chhara roads. At
around 4:00 a.m., the soldiers allegedly surrounded and searched the residence
of Mohi Ranjan Tripura.
Speaking to CHT News, Mohi Ranjan alleged that the
troops first cordoned off his home before entering and conducting a search.
During the operation, he claimed, household belongings were disturbed and sacks
of paddy stored inside the house were damaged.
He further alleged that although no illegal items were
found during the search, soldiers physically assaulted him and threatened his
wife, Bishnupriya Tripura.
According to Mohi Ranjan, the soldiers also subjected
the family to what he described as harassing and intimidating questioning.
Before leaving, they allegedly warned the family, saying, "We will come
back to your home again."
Local residents also alleged that soldiers detained
and assaulted Daluksa Tripura, 35, the son-in-law of Shantiswaran Tripura, a
neighbor of Mohi Ranjan. Residents said the detention appeared to have no
apparent justification.
